Blue Catfish
If you're after a hard-fighting blue catfish, Creswell, North Carolina, offers access to excellent fishing grounds. The Albemarle Sound and the connecting rivers and canals are home to a healthy population of blues. Targeting them in the fall and winter is particularly rewarding. Focus on deeper channels and areas with structure like submerged timber or drop-offs. The blues here are known to be opportunistic feeders, so using fresh cut bait such as shad or herring is a reliable strategy. Be prepared for a battle – these fish can reach significant sizes. Several public boat ramps provide access to the Albemarle Sound and the Scuppernong River near Creswell. Be aware of the wind conditions, as the Albemarle Sound can get rough quickly. Also, consider using heavier tackle than you might typically use for catfish, as the potential for hooking into a large fish is high. Local knowledge can be invaluable, so consider consulting with a local tackle shop for the latest hotspots.
